Job Description
HGV Driver – Trial Member
Avonmouth, Bristol
About Us
Here at Suma, we’ve been doing things a bit differently for over 40 years, not only in our mission to supply everything vegetarian, ethical and sustainable, but also in how we run our successful business.
Suma is a worker co-operative; a business owned and run by nearly 200 members who work here. We’re a group of ordinary people who have built a business on principles of integrity and equality. Suma workers work together collectively to set the direction of the business - there are no shareholders and no traditional ‘bosses’. Everyone at Suma gets paid the same wage, takes personal and equal responsibility and does a range of different jobs each week.
We are currently looking for an HGV Driver to join our team on a full-time, permanent basis.
The Benefits
- Salary of £35,859 (£17.24 per hour)
- Generous holiday entitlement and pension (10.6% contributions when a member)
- Profit share bonus
- Staff discount on our stock
- Overtime can be taken as pay or time off in lieu
- Access to occupational sick pay
- Expenses for meals and time away from home
- Staff car park
- An equal say in the running of our business
This is a fantastic opportunity for a confident CPC qualified driver with strong communication and time management skills to join our ethical, employee-owned organisation.
You’ll have the chance to begin a long-term driving career with a successful co-operative that values shared responsibility, fairness and development.
What’s more, you’ll enjoy a genuinely different way of working, with equal pay, profit share and an equal say in how our business is run.
So, if you’re ready to take the next step in your driving career while joining a business built on integrity, equality and sustainability, read on and apply today.
The Role
As an HGV Driver, you will safely deliver and collect goods while providing excellent customer service and representing Suma on every journey.
Completing deliveries and collections safely, legally and efficiently, you will follow planned routes while adapting to changing circumstances when needed.
Additionally, you will:
- Carry out vehicle checks, reporting any defects promptly
- Assist with route planning and follow planned schedules
- Record temperature checks for chilled and frozen deliveries
- Maintain accurate run notes and compliance records
- Follow drivers’ hours legislation and road traffic laws
- Keep your vehicle clean, tidy and fuelled
About You
To be considered as an HGV Driver, you will need:
- HGV driving experience
- Excellent time management and communication skills
- The ability to work alone
- A full, valid HGV licence, Driver CPC and Driver Card
Other organisations may call this role LGV Driver, Class 2 Driver, Delivery Driver, Multi-Drop Driver, HGV Delivery Driver, or LGV Delivery Driver.
We welcome applications from everyone irrespective of ethnicity or gender, but as members of ethnic minority groups and women are currently under-represented in the co-op, we particularly encourage applications from women and ethnic minority candidates. Appointment will be based on merit alone.
